And So What?

hellooo it's been a while. every time my episodes become more and more like a phone call with me and this was truly one of those calls where I update you on everything. we covered a lot. not knowing what's going on in my life and feeling weird, graduating, working at a summer camp, and being excited and shitting bricks about starting a whole new life in less than two months. i missed the podcast and it felt nice to record again, i love you and thank you for supporting the podcast

hiii! this episode i talked all about birthdays, from mixing friend groups to how i like spending my birthday and my past experiences.

shit happens every day. to everyone. the difference is in how people deal with it.

hiii I finally decided where I'll be going to college next year and a huge thing for me through this process was treating rejection as redirection. I talked about my experience and how I finally picked a school. Remember to trust the process and not force anything, it will all work out. one day you're gonna look back and wonder why you ever worried. thank you for supporting the podcast, I love you!

a journal entry led to this episode. I talked about college, body image, friendships, and advice. just do what you love

hiii what's up? this week's episode is like those calls with your best friend where they talk and you listen and get some life updates. basically, any thought that crossed my mind was talked about. i love you so very much and thank you for supporting the podcast!this is ur reminder that it all begins and ends in your mind. what you give power to, has power over you, if you allow it.

this episode was basically a call with me where towards the end I remembered everything I wanted to tell you and gave you a 2-minute version of that. I also talked about not taking life so seriously and starting to embrace your inner child and all those goofy moments. love you!

setting boundaries is an act of love toward yourself. your levels of self-esteem are closely related to the boundaries you set and the respect you project onto others. I also talked about some stuff I do out of respect for myself. love you hope you have an amazing day!I appreciate myself. That is how I heal. - Alison Malee

A sh*t talks was much needed, and so was a guest. Ashley and I talked about the talking stage, people who think they can leave others on delivered, toxic manipulative friendships and love language and even took a test to figure ours out. This episode is like talking to your best friends and catching up on stuff. We hope you enjoyed this episode, Ashley will be back very soon!!!

after the last episode, I become more aware of things I've been incorporating and turning into habits. after a quick off-track conversation, I talked about sunbathing, being picky about who I surround myself with, how I've created a space within myself for my creativity and fears to coexist and others things that have been working for me recently. become more aware of what is really worth your energy.

meeting new people can be scary for some. social anxiety and the fear of not being cool can kick in and mess with us. cool isn't real, it's just that some people are better at creating this illusion that they're. faking it till you make it is real, especially when meeting new people. they know nothing about you, so you have all the power to make yourself "cool." if you're not the most outgoing talkative person, take this as an opportunity to talk to someone new even if it's uncomfortable at first. faking it till you make it doesn't mean changing who you are, it means putting yourself out of your comfort zone while staying true to yourself.

Every day is a chance to reset and start as a new and better version of ourselves, but I love celebrating a new start. I started taking new year's resolutions and vision boards seriously two years ago and have accomplished so much. I talked about the process I go through while goal setting and creating my vision board, along with thoughts and things I'm incorporating and reinforcing in my life this year.

what a year. I went through every emotion possible and did stuff I never thought of. so grateful for every moment and lesson. thank you for listening to the podcast, I love you!

WOW. This weekend was amazing I have no words. I was honored to be part of an Art Basel fair as a performance artist. I connected with amazing people in the art world and was able to be part of such an amazing thing. There was so much growth throughout the whole process from project proposal to performing. Of course, I also went to the convention center and saw a bunch of work with friends as well and had to make a controversial tik tok which I obviously talked about.

hey hey! we did 73 questions, not with vogue. I went through all 73 questions which had me all over the place and of course, I had some off-topic conversations like always. this was a fun episode and I will probably do some like this with guests in the next ones. i love you!

I talked about my thoughts and experience with being "healthy." There will definitely be a part two for this one, probably with a guest, just because there's so much to talk about. I covered a few topics like dieting, body image, the gym, and others. This was all from personal experience and research.

I talked about how organization and clutter can affect our mental state. Clutter can increase our cortisol levels and make it challenging to focus. I also went a bit off-topic and talked about natural options to decrease toxic charge in our daily lives.

Motivation isn't going to be enough to get you to your goals, it takes discipline. Motivation isn't real. To get your life together, I feel you need a mindset shift and figure out what works for you. I talked about the mindset shift that helped me, and what has helped me create a more balanced life where I'm not stressing over everything and can actually enjoy it.

movement has become one of my favorite coping mechanisms. I've healed my relationship with working out, after having this idea from a young age that it was meant to be painful torture to lose weight. I don't longer see working out as this punishment and torture, but rather as an opportunity to allow my body to move freely, reduce stress, spend time with myself, and simply enjoy it. do what feels right for you.

a balanced life is key to success. whenever there's a lack of balance we typically experience burnout and just an overall mess in our lives. I feel like I'm at a point where my life is balanced and my "it is what it is and life is short" mindset is adding to this point in my life. this is your reminder to slow down, take a breath and remember what truly matters, I love you.

the beach is probably one of my favorite places, but being sticky and sandy after isn't.

hey hey, we're back to short episodes this week. senior year is three days away and I'm feeling all sorts of ways. these past weeks have been so good, life is good. short little talk today and a quick life update like always. love youu

This was the most honest episode ever. Ana and I were both away from home for 3 weeks living with strangers and had completely different experiences, it was a crazy-lit movie. We really think we're germaphobes and people disgust us. It was an amazing experience, and crazy how we both lived this experience in different states at the same time. This is FRESH gossip mi genet FRESH GOSSIP.

We have a new guest party people wohooo it's Bri Bri Brianna !!!! This episode was so fun to record. We talked about everything from modern-day dating and dating stories to anxiety poops and periods and relationship advice. We're both at very different yet very similar points in our lives which made this episode super unique and just wow. Go ... go listen to it now ... like now go go.

My overall traveling thoughts and tips, from packing to picking a restaurant. Long vs. short flights, and whether I'm a casual traveler or dress to impress type at the airport. Let's talk about being barefoot through airport security... yeah that's a no.

What I've been up to these past two weeks and some quick off-track talk.

I would say go for it. What's the worst that can happen?… it doesn't work out, you have to start again, the list goes on. Stop caring so much and start doing what YOU want to do, as cringe as it sounds. Be mindful of who you surround yourself with, and become aware of what really deserves your energy. Seriously just go for it. It's your life, if it makes you happy do it.

Probably the most chaotic episode so far. That's all I can say.

Carlota started making a pet peeves list and it kept going. This is probably the start of a new series.

Stress, fear of failure, and anxiety can lead us to lose focus on our end goal, and sometimes even convince us that we are not good enough. Carlota talks about how at the end of the day she's 16, she's young, and of course, it's scary to take risks but she has time to fail. The first idea doesn't always work, but you need to take the risk. She also talked about how she gets herself out of what she calls “pre-burnout,” and a few sidetracks that somehow related to the topic.

There's a difference between motivation and discipline. Motivation isn't real and only becomes real when there's a clear end goal.

This week I talked about the whole process of getting your sh*t together. From finding hobbies and cutting off people and things that make you miserable to an analogy that changed my perspective on life. It's the longest episode I've recorded in a while, and I genuinely enjoyed this topic. There were lots of sidetracks but it somehow, hopefully, all made sense. Thank you for listening to this week's episode. Hope you have an amazing week.

My thoughts on "That Girl" and that whole lifestyle.

I don't consider myself a materialistic person but also not a minimalist. I'm somewhere in the middle leaning more towards minimalist, but there's still random stuff I don't think I could live without. When I say random, I mean random like that stain remover pen or my AirPods.

Let's talk about being single on Valentine's Day.

This week Carlota has a special guest, Diego, her younger brother. They talk about the expectations set by older siblings, if they have ever felt like they have disappointed their parents, and much more.

Carlota talks about how we go through all of these steps and “unhappy” times not necessarily all but a good amount, to get to be “happy”. And she says "happy” because there seems to always be something that once you reach what you thought would make you happy, it really doesn't.

This week Carlota did somewhat of a Sh*t Talks with herself, mainly talking about how December was different this year along with other random topics that came up.

The last episode of the year, that's crazy. This is the time of the year where people start talking about everything they're going to do next year their goals and plans and also start to do this thing where we put things off till next year. I don't really do New Year's resolutions, but this year I decided I'm going to because I feel like it can help us achieve things we've been wanting to do and work on.

This week Carlota talks about self-growth and how we need to stop romanticizing it.

Carlota talks about the thin line between self-discipline and self-destruction. How your lifestyle and set routine sometimes get to the point where that so-called "discipline" becomes a coping mechanism that you don't realize you're creating and that's the point where it becomes self-destructive.

Carlota talks about how everything happens for a reason and why she believes that. From certain people coming into your life to the smallest thing that played a huge role in your life.

This week Carlota talks about her current experience with burnout and what she is doing about it. She's intrigued by this topic and did some research that helped everything make sense.

We've all been there, the day we have been waiting for finally arrives, you have the best night ever and then what? What now? Carlota had this experience a few days ago and really wishes she could go back in time and relive that night.

This week Carlota talks about being alone, and how it isn't all that bad. She believes it's underrated and people need to do it more.

Carlota started a new series called Sh*t Talks, where she has guest over and they just talk about things that have been going on and overall an open ended converstaion. This weeks episodes guest where Fiorella, which has previosuly been on the podcast, and Sofia, another one of Carlota's friends. The three of them used this episode as a rant since these past weeks have been a bit wonky as they would say.

This past week Carlota started school, and it wasn't necessarily what she was expecting. She talks about her anxiety and some techniques she's been using. She also talks about other topics that popped up this week.

This week Carlota has a special guest, Diego, her brother and they talk about some hard pills to swallow.

Carlota talks about the journey she's been on with herself these past months, from new habits to past events that changed her.

Carlota talks about her recent experience deleting TikTok and Instagram for a week. She talks about some new things she's been doing and about the overall experience. Carlota says that this was like a mental reset that she strongly needed.

Carlota talks about the shopping experience in general. She also talks about what she loves and dislikes, like sizing at stores, long lines, and more.
